Collin Finnerty, 19, of Garden City, N.Y., was due in D.C. Superior Court on Tuesday for a hearing to determine whether he violated the conditions of a diversion program he entered after being charged in that case.

Finnerty and two other high school men were accused of punching Jeffrey O. Bloxgom in the face and body after he told them to "stop calling him gay and other derogatory names," last November, according to court documents.

Under the terms of the diversion program, the charges would be dismissed after Finnerty completed of 25 hours of community service. The agreement also called for Finnerty to refrain from committing any criminal offense.

"We're considering revocation of the diversion," said Channing Phillips, a spokesman for the U.S. Attorney's Office.

US Attorney?? What the hell the feds got to do with this?

I just can't get over this.

I've never seen such a blatant case of harassment in my life.

I wonder if Finnerty has completed any/all of the 25 hrs. of community service. If so, that would help him. If months have passed and he's avoided the service requirement, then he may be up the creek.

This kid's gonna get hanged twice.

He sure is!

I am sure Finnerty's attorney's will ask for this to be postponed. The judge has the final say. I hope he will be reasonable.

What happened to "innocent until proved guilty?"
